Engaging industry leaders on the practical realities of low-carbon steelmaking and construction supply
Arabian Gulf Steel Industries participated in Big 5 Global 2025 as a Gold Sponsor, reinforcing its role in advancing low-carbon steel solutions for the construction sector and engaging directly with industry leaders, policymakers, and developers across the week’s programme.
The company also shared perspectives on how localisation, policy alignment, and collaboration between manufacturers and project owners are shaping material selection and long-term supply strategies across the region.
AGSI’s participation spanned strategic dialogue, technical insight, and industry recognition, focusing on the practical realities of decarbonising steel production at industrial scale. Discussions centred on material performance, supply reliability, and the increasing role of carbon standards and procurement frameworks in shaping construction decisions.
On the opening day, AGSI Founder and CEO Asam Hussain took part in an exclusive fireside chat at the Global Leaders’ Summit, discussing resilience, sustainability, and global competitiveness in the steel industry. The conversation explored how localisation, policy direction, and low-carbon manufacturing are increasingly shaping supply certainty and material decision-making in a changing global market.
AGSI also contributed to the Sustainable Building Materials Talks with a presentation titled Decarbonising Steel: Innovations for Net-Zero Structural Metal. The session positioned AGSI’s operating model as a practical example of low-carbon steelmaking already in active operation, showing how material innovation is aligning with evolving climate frameworks and the expectations of major construction projects.
Speaking during the event, Asam Hussain, Founder and CEO of AGSI, commented: “Verified Net Zero steel gives developers clarity on material choices. AGSI’s traceable, locally sourced production offers among the lowest-carbon performance globally and supports reliable supply as regional construction needs grow.”
As a steel producer operating a fully integrated, locally anchored manufacturing model, AGSI’s approach reflects the practical integration of low-carbon steel into construction projects, as procurement frameworks and building standards increasingly factor carbon performance alongside quality and supply continuity.
AGSI also served as Category Sponsor for the Carbon Net-Zero Initiative of the Year at the Big 5 Global Impact Awards, supporting the recognition of organisations across diverse sectors delivering credible, verifiable carbon-reduction initiatives. The awards underscored the importance of transparency, discipline, and accountability in translating sustainability commitments into measurable outcomes.
AGSI’s participation at Big 5 Global reflects its ongoing role in contributing practical insight drawn from active operations, supporting informed decision-making as the construction sector adapts to evolving regulatory, environmental, and market conditions.
